Hartell A3X-277 condensate pump is a type of centrifugal pump used to collect and transmit hot water and liquid produced by condensation from heating systems, such as gas and oil condensing boilers. This device is used with refrigeration and air conditioning systems where water cannot be removed using gravity.
Working Mechanism:
- Carefully unpack the pump and connect the inlet suitable for the desired application.
- Install the loose cap supplied with the pump over the inlet to prevent any foreign objects from falling into the reservoir.
- To secure the top inlet cap, use the clamp from the side inlet.
- Connect a suitable drain line from the evaporator coil drain to the pump"s inlet and ensure a downward slope.
- Connect a properly sized copper tubing to the discharge port"s check valve assembly.
- Once installed, this pump functions automatically when turned on.
Features:
- Hartell A3X-277 condensate pump comes with an auxiliary safety switch to prevent the possibility of pump overflow due to clogged discharge lines or pump malfunction.
- It features stainless steel shaft for corrosion resistance.
- The inlet and outlet of this pump discharge rotate to reduce strain on tubing and piping.
- Its reversible reservoir offers flexibility for easy installation.
- This PlenumPlus pump's motor bearings have double protection against water splash and steam vapour.
- It has a quick disconnect discharge feature for easy servicing.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is the maximum fluid temperature this pump can withstand?
A. 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
Q. What is the capacity of the reservoir of this Hartell A3X-277 condensate pump?
A. 1 gallon.
Q. How does the auxiliary safety switch protect the pump?
A. The auxiliary safety switch is wired in the "normally open" position, allowing it to be used as a trigger to cut the circuit powering an external alarm system if the water level inside the reservoir climbs to the point where the pump will overflow.
Q. How to check whether the pump is functioning properly?
A.
- Disconnect the pump inlet's drain line tubing.
- Fill the pump's intake with water until it starts to operate.
- Pump should drain all the water before turning off. Approximately 3/4 inch water will remain in the tank after the "pump-out" is finished.
- Reattach the pump inlet tubing to the drain line.
